------- Additional Comments From apacheBugzilla@AMammenT.cotse.net  2003-12-01 17:46 -------
Although this may not be what you expected, this behaviour is as documented in 
the Javadocs (see below).  chomp only removes the separator from the end of 
the string if it's there.  The proposed alternate - substringBeforeLast - may 
do more of what you are looking for.

--JAVADOC CLIPPING--

public static String chomp(String str,
                           String separator)

Removes separator from the end of str if it's there, otherwise leave it alone.

NOTE: This method changed in version 2.0. It now more closely matches Perl 
chomp. For the previous behavior, use substringBeforeLast(String, String). 
This method uses String.endsWith(String).
